The Emirates A380 aircraft was piloted by Captain Patricia Bischoff from Canada and First Officer Rebecca Lougheed from the UK, with cabin crew led by the purser Weronica Formela from Poland.

As well as the flight crew, an all-women team worked on all ‘above wing’ and ‘below wing’ activities in the lead-up to flight departure, including ramp operations, flight dispatch, catering, security and more.

In total, a team of more than 75 women from more than 25 nationalities – including Emirati women – worked on the flight.

Women make up over 40 per cent of the workforce at Emirates, with the majority working as cabin crew.
